The consensus seems to be that FreeBSD/amd64 is a tad slower then
FreeBSD/i386 because it has to deal with 32 extra bits. The primary

of RAM.
This should give you the speed boost your

I recently got an ia64 box at work, and I threw my i386 freebsd 5.4 on it.
Now, is there a way to rebuild world with 64-bit support from there?
